While it is urged that farmers
should give greater attention to the
production of a larger proportion OF
lean meat in hogs, the fact remains
that they can get better price for lard
than for lean, which will always prompt
them to have the hogs as fat as possible
before killing. Another fact is that
fat can be produced at a smaller cost
than lean. while the hogs sold in fat
condition carry away less of the fer
tility of the soil than the same weight
of leau.-Philadelphia Record.

was thrown into state of excitement
the day before Christmas. by the an
nouncement that Captain Lawrence,
whose vessel went ashore on Wallop's
beach not long ago, had arrived from
Philadelphia with cargo of Jersey
lightning labelled tobacco. Having
rented Mr.. j. W. .Duncan's old bar, he
proposed to retail 1400 cigars at 10
cents each with drink thrown in, local
option to the contrary notwithstanding.
He was waited upon by committee of
our citizens who threatened him with
immediate prosecution did he COM
mence his illegal traffic. The pleadings
of the captain for permission just to
close out this purchase to save him from
pecuniary loss and assist him to care fol-
his afflicted wife and helpless little chill
dren had no effect upon the hard heart
ed committee, and though the popu.
lace threatened violence, the captain
and his stock in trade was allowed tc
depart for more congo lial cline.
